It is not only the Armenians but also Turkey's subjects of Greek nationalty who are currently subjected for severe persecutions. Here stationed Greek chargé d'affaires informs that the number of Greek villages at the Marmara Sea coast, on the island's of the mentioned sea and some parts of the Bosporus have been forced to leave their homes and houses, accounts to around 60,000 persons, mainly women, children and elderly men. Similar evacuations, measures would in practice be decided against the Greek population at the coast of Smyrna, living within a distance of 10km from the sea coast. Three metropolitans, sent by the Patriarch to render assistance to the evicted, often under bare sky and deprived of all camping Greeks, had been denied any direct contact with these unfortunate crowds of people.

According to Mr. Tsamados, it can not be any other issue than an annihilation war against the Greek nation in Turkey and as measures hereof they have been implementing forced conversions to Islam, in obvious aim to, that if after the end of the war there again would be a question of European intervention for the protection of the Christians, there will be as few of them left as possible.

Those Greeks, who after the Balkan Wars and during last summer have been forced to emigrate partly frm Thracia and partly from other parts of Turkey, are appreciated by Mr. Tsamados to be none less than 200,000. Some part of these have, however, found jobs in Greece's newly acquired parts of Macedonia.
